Is it because you don’t wash your face that you have blackheads? ! Is it true?

(CCTV Finance "Is It Real") For women who naturally love beauty, keeping the face flat and smooth is very important. But the small black spots growing on the nose are really worrying and annoying.

Some people on the Internet say that blackheads are actually caused by insufficient cleaning. Is this statement true? Let’s ask experts to tell us.

Huang Luping, Director of the Laser Beauty Center of the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: Blackheads are the abbreviation of blackheads. The formation of blackheads is related to the pore structure of the skin. Pores are the same openings between hair follicles and sebaceous glands. If the pores are too large, it means there is a volume to collect sebum. If the volume is larger, more sebum will be collected. Coupled with the factors of poor drainage, these excess sebum will accumulate in the pores. After contact with dirt and dust in the air, and oxidized by the air, it will become black, large or small. . This is related to your skin type. In addition, if the pores are damaged or become larger, it may further aggravate the formation of blackheads.

In normal times, many people often use acne needles to squeeze out blackheads, or use various products on the market to remove blackheads. What suggestions do experts have for such operations?

Huang Luping, Director of the Laser Cosmetology Center of the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: It is not harmful to use these methods once in a while. If these methods are used for a long time, they will still lead to some adverse consequences. For example, squeezing it with your hands for a long time will cause the pore structure to deform. In the long run, the pores will become larger and lose elasticity, and blackheads will become more and more serious.

Huang Luping, Director of the Laser Beauty Center of the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: When using nasal strips, you will first use a derivation liquid, which is a keratinolytic agent. The barrier function and elasticity of the epidermis cause certain damage. And long-term repeated tearing will also cause mechanical damage to the pores. There are also exfoliating products, which can be used short-term, but are not recommended for long-term use.

So, what method can be used to effectively eliminate blackheads on the face?

Huang Luping, Director of the Laser Beauty Center of the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: From the perspective of the causes of blackheads, the first is excessive sebum secretion, so you need to adjust your living habits and maintain a normal daily life and a light diet.

The second is enlarged pores. You can use photoelectric beauty methods to shrink the pores, so that the container holding sebum will become smaller, and the chance of forming blackheads will also be smaller. Photorejuvenation is currently available, which is a completely non-invasive method. The emerging picosecond laser can also improve enlarged pores. If the pores are too large or even accompanied by acne, more intense fractional laser can be used to improve the pores.

The third is skin care. Many people think that the cleaner they are, the less blackheads they will have. In fact, excessive cleaning is harmful to the skin. Under this kind of repeated damage, our skin will become rough and aging cutin will increase, which will further clog the pores and lead to the formation of blackheads.

If we want to improve our skin condition and properly protect our skin, what methods should we use? What other issues need to be paid attention to?

Huang Luping, director of the Laser Beauty Center of the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences: There are three main steps in skin care: cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection. For people with large pores and blackheads, when cleansing, you can rub the area twice with serious blackheads. But never use overly strong sulfur soap or facial cleanser, as this is over-cleansing.

After cleansing, you need to moisturize appropriately. We can use moisturizers with oil-free formulas. When the pores are abnormally large, you can also use exfoliating agents related to keratin.

This kind of peeling agent can be used for a short period of time or when there is a special skin condition, but once any symptoms of skin discomfort occur, it must be stopped in time.

If you want to use an exfoliating agent to improve your skin quality, it is best to consult your doctor in advance to avoid skin sensitivity. Only by insisting on using scientific methods can your skin improve.
